Just in at DriveTown we have this 6 speed Manual Toyota 86 GT in Black!!
The Toyota 86 is about about fun and engagement.
Nestled low into the cabin, the driving position is near ideal. Pedal placement is bang on for heel-and-toe shifts and the round, button-free steering wheel is lovely to hold in the hands no flat-bottom nonsense here.
After mere minutes behind the wheel, the analogue speedo on the left of the tacho is quickly forgotten in favour of the digital display directly in front of you. The remaining fuel and engine temperature gauges on the right-hand side, models of simplicity and clarity.
The 86s squishy black dash-top material and driver and passenger knee pads are nice touches, while vision out is not bad despite a heavily raked rear window and larger C-pillars. Sight up and blast through corner after corner, and the thing putting the biggest smile on your face will be the electrically assisted rack and pinion steering.
An absolute standout of the car, the setup can feel a touch heavy at lower speeds and when parking, but once speeds increase, it really comes into its own. Delivering razor sharp response and high levels of engagement, it makes the 86 easily one of the best and most fun cars to point at a set of bends. Doing its fair share to add to the excitement is the manual gearbox. Teaming short, slick throws with accurate gating, the six-speed manual is excellent.
The 86s throttle response is right up there with the cars steering top notch. Sure, the punch attached to the right pedal may be less than you might expect in a sports car, but the actual throttle response is sublime.
This is a car all about driver involvement and driver engagement, and it nails the brief. Its not the fastest, most powerful, or most cutting edge car around, but what it is is pure and honest. It demands, yet equally rewards, good driving and commitment. And thats what makes it so much fun.
